Come on guys, this is the important bit:
- 10/15 secondary cases were vaccinated (!)
- 1/2 tertiary cases had two documented vaccines
- 7/15 of the secondary cases were infected in the airport not the plane(!)
Tell me this isn't a result of wrecked immune systems
CDC: Unvaccinated international traveler spread #measles to 17 other travelers to, within US
The index patient had a fever, persistent cough, cold-like symptoms, and conjunctivitis (“pink eye”) during travel.

You mean like this ??
Albanese in opposition: “We don’t need a culture of secrecy.”
@alboMP in Govt: FOI crackdown, secret PII claims every week, and ministers’ offices backing a push to stop senators sharing public evidence.
The culture of disclosure lasted as long as @AustralianLabor's campaign.

The first human case was reported in the US in 2022. We did nothing. By 2025, kids were testing positive for H5N1 with no identifiable source. The first human death was also reported. Then we ignored it again. Our wounds are self-inflicted & the pathogens are going to win.

She said she had never had a flu in her entire life.
She helped teach the launch workout at work today. Early 60s, lean, the picture of health itself.
And yet one hand kept drifting to her throat.
3 weeks earlier, in the first week of October, my son and I had been down for 48 hours. I texted her to ask if she could sub.
She wrote back that she had just stepped off a cruise and “a flu” had hit her hard. She was so sick she could barely type.
Now she was here. I asked if she had recovered.
"I never had a flu in my entire life," she told me, almost laughing at how strange it was. "Not once. That cruise was the worst sickness. I was so scared."
She pressed at her throat again and cleared it, a small, raspy sound. "I am STILL a little congested there," she said, and pointed, the gesture exact.
"Oh and I was not the only one. We went with 8 of us on that cruise. 5 out of 8 came back sick."
Weeks later now and she is still clearing a throat that will not clear. And still carrying the fear of it.
I thought of all the people who used to meet a virus and finish with it, clean.
The rules changed so quietly.
And the ones who still believe they have the same immune system they had prior to Covid will spend the rest of their lives pointing to their ailments, never quite saying what left them that way.

Wife had an ear infection and was taking care of their sick daughter.
This detail is KEY.
Healthy dad comes home after a short run with calf pain, and thinks he pulled a muscle.
3 days later he collapses mid workout and dies of a pulmonary embolism.
It’s Covid and they have no idea.

Cardiologist spots an “alarming trend” of women in their 30’s starting families with palpitations, chest pain, and fatigue while “trying to sludge through their day.”
Cause?
“Having kids and working so much” is “causing all this stress to their heart.”
He says his first reaction is: “to not give them medications,” just 20 minutes of “me time” that is “magical.”
This is exactly how Long Covid gets dismissed.

Hi Leo, greetings from Australia. I'm an anaesthetist, and I wear an N95 mask in all shared indoor air to protect my patients, my community, and myself. I also educate my fellow doctors about the science: covidfordoctors.org

A properly functioning immune system is crucial to the surveillance of atypical cells and their removal.

Why would a specific mutation be rising now?
@EricTopol
Perhaps we are seeing the rising number of cases because immune dysregulation damages normal immune surveillance

@BBoyerMP perhaps @SAHealth could consider implement some of these infection control strategies... UV lights and N95s are effective, affordable tools that seem to be largely ignored by our policy makers.
An excellent initiative: using upper-air UV light disinfection to reduce hospital-acquired infections and their downstream harms.👇 👏@NSWHealth @VicGovDH

This "study" is dangerous and misleading. Here's why:
They compared people who tested positive for COVID early in the pandemic (2020–21) with people who tested negative, then followed both groups for two years.
The problem: the people who tested negative didn't stay uninfected. Follow-up ran through Delta and Omicron. The authors themselves report 20% of controls had a positive PCR within two years, and that only counts recorded tests. By Feb 2022, CDC blood surveys estimated ~58% of Americans had been infected.
So by year two, they're comparing people infected early with people infected later. Of course the difference shrinks toward zero. That's control group catching up, not long COVID resolving.
The obvious check is to compare against similar people in the years before the pandemic. They had the data: everyone in the study needed claims from 2019, and they used four years of prior medical history. They didn't run it.
Not sure if this guy is just really stupid, or actively evil.

So today Coles announced a big plan to cut prices (and profit) because they were getting smashed by Woolworths.
When asked why, the CEO said they acted early because it's harder to fix when embedded.
Basically better strategy than our current public health...

Even with crappy data, a person dies every 8 or so hours in Australia of covid. 3 a day. About the same as the road toll. Interestingly it went up significantly since 2020 after 40 years of reductions. Wonder if there is something known to affect cognitive ability in that time?
🇦🇺Australia: Deaths involving COVID-19 and flu increased in August 2026:
• COVID-19: 69 in July → 92 in August
• Influenza: 37 in July → 101 in August
In 2025:
• COVID-19: 2,248 deaths
• Influenza: 1,800 deaths

Role models are so key to behavior change. It’s like the first thing you need. Signage is for reinforcement after you’ve established the behavior.

One more bizarre story this week for the Covid Twilight Zone.
I have a longtime friend who I always thought of as my most grounded, logical and insightful one out of everyone.
She lives 400+ miles away. So I’m always so excited to hear from her. She called this week and I was thrilled! Whenever I need to have an objective opinion about a decision, I have always reached out to her.
We would share Covid information, me from a professional lens…and her from a community view.
She was a teacher who had to retire after being hospitalized for Covid and developing Ocular Paralysis in 2021.
Ocular Paralysis makes her unable to move her right eye. She has endured several surgeries over the past few years to regain movement. None of which have been successful.
This week when I asked my friend if there were any changes in her condition, she stated that “If I had unmasked sooner my eye would have improved.”
I asked “How can that be?”
She stated that “EVERYONE has an eyeball stuck because they had problems seeing over their masks.”
I said, “I still Mask and both of my eyeballs are still moving.”
She said, “Well you don’t live in Michigan.”
I asked her very slowly “Are you saying that Ocular Paralysis, a condition that originates from an INFECTION or disease state is somehow coming from Masks?”
She said, “Yes, and being in lockdown where your eyes are inside the house all day.”
The only thing that I could think was “Damn! YOU TOO!”
The only thing I could do was sit down in the “off limits” living room, poured a glass of wine, lit a candle, and played some Camden Stewart.
I’m beginning to think that No Interaction is the Best Interaction.

Kids and young adults are ending up in the hospital or dying from Shiga toxin E. coli after ordinary trips to petting zoos, corn mazes, pumpkin patches, and state fairs.
…This was not normal before.
A recent post shared that a 15 month old boy got this strain after his older brother went on a school field trip to a petting zoo. The 15 month old was not even on the trip.
The same post said a 19 month old little boy also passed away last week from this exact strain.
Repeat Covid infections have quietly damaged so many immune systems that even seemingly healthy people are getting severe, life threatening bacterial infections from places that used to be low risk.
**“We still don’t know how my son Beckett got it either.”
**“My son is in the hospital right now in CA with Shiga Toxin E Coli and HUS. We went to a corn maze 10 days ago.”
**“2 siblings in the hospital right now after petting animals at the state fair of Texas. They are currently on dialysis.”
**“My 5 year old daughter passed away from the exact same thing.”
This is not how the Fall season used to go.
